\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of weeks it will take getting 10 new stamps each week
\n" );
document.write( "152 - 22 = 130 will be the number of additional stamps we will need to have 152
\n" );
document.write( "10x = 130
\n" );
document.write( "x = 13 weeks wil be how long it takes to accumulate 130 more stamps
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "22 + 13*10 = 152 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
